you basically keep off or prevent water weight gain by not eating any bad foods that cause your body to retain water
If I were to drink this for more than 7 days will it keep my water weight from coming back? Or, do I HAVE to drink at least 1 liter of plain water per day?
Hi Adrian!
I wasn't able to find Dandelion Root Tea "bags" in time to begin this 7-day program tomorrow; however, I did purchase Dandelion Liquid Herbal Extract from the Health Food Store (which contains the root, leaf & flower). I do know that extract is stronger than the tea bags, but I don't know the equivalent. Do you know how many extract drops equal one tea bag?
The instructions on the extract bottle reads: "2 to 4 times per day take 30-40 drops in a little water." I don't know how many drops should go into the daily 60ozs of water along with the other ingredients.
The clerk at the store didn't know and it doesn't state the equivalency on the product's website: herb-pharm.com. I don't use credit cards, so I'm not able to access Jillian's site to ask her directly.
I'm a 48yr old female, 5'6", 197 lbs (after losing 25 lbs since this past April). I exercise 5x per wk and eat 'okay' and drink 64 to 96oz of water per day. Even so, I am currently carrying water weight that I'd like to shed quickly for an upcoming family reunion (on 1 Aug).
I'll be using this drink program along with your suggestions for lowering my sodium intake. Any advice you can give me on the # of drops for this drink mix will be truly appreciated!
BTW...LOVE your website, Especially the videos!!! My waistline THANKS you tremendously!!! Keep up the Great job!

Can you substitiute lemon juice for lime juice instead?
Vijay
Yes you can still try the ancient drink but realize that weight loss is more about...
1. what you eat (see NowLoss.com/199)
2. how much you eat
3. exercise
In India, we use 1 tablespoon of matured Honey and 2 tablespoon of Lemon juice and add it in glass of luke warm water to loose weight fast. It is recommended to drink in morning with empty stomach.
this formula is from Ayurveda.
i wanna know that if Dandelion root tea and Carnberry juice is not easily available in india so can we go for above ancient indian drink or not ?
Listen, its real simple...you CAN use tap water and you DO drink 60oz. per day! If you have a hard time finding the cranberry juice go to the organic food isle and get organic cranberry juice and if you cant find the tea get yosi brand detox tea, its in the organic foods section as well. Dont bother heating the tea put the mixture in the fridge overnight w/the tea bag still in it. It taste very good, spicey/cinniminy. That should answer all your question...drink for 5 - 7 days. Im on day five and feel great! Ill let you know my results!
perk,
drink at least 60oz everyday for the week
monctonmama,
It'll still flush out water weight but I never heard of it being an appettie stimualor but if it is...
You can take these steps to reduce appettie while flushing out water weight
I'm getting mixed reviews on if your drinking 60 oz in one day or for the entire week?
Hi,
I am interested in trying this and have bought a box of the dandelion root tea. To my surprise, it says on the box that this tea is an appetite stimulator?! How can this work? I'd be afraid of increasing my appetite.
Liat,
I'd say either spring or distilled will be best
does it have to be distilled water or can we use tap water? I don't have a car and carrying huge bottles of water will be really hard for me
Jules
YES - just avoid too much salt and other bad foods for weight loss to prevent any water weight gain
Are we allowed to eat any solids while we drink this stuff?
Jess,
No - use cranberry juice
Hi,
Can you use grapefruit juice instead of cranberry juice?
Is it better to seek out sugar free cranberry juice, or can I use Northland cranberry juice not from concentrate w/added juices from concentrate
So what I have to do is combine all ingredients including the dandelion tea bag (without boiling) in the 60oz of water? How long should I let it rest because of the tea bag?
How often should a person do this 7-day water weight loss? After how many weeks?
I've done this drink before so I'll try to answer a few questions people have. YES, you use ONE tea bag for the entire recipe, simply make the drink, plop the tea bag in with everything else and stick in the fridge. Also if you are having a hard time finding this type of tea look in your grocers organic/natures market area and look for "Traditional Medicinals" PMS Tea. It's primarily dandelion root but also has chicory root, parsley leaf and a couple other natural ingredients. But I lost 7 pounds of water weight in one week several months ago drinking this.
How does this taste?? the recipe make sense bu tI don't want to torcher myslef by drinking something nasty...
is it ok to use white cranberry or pomegranate cranberry instead of just plain cranberry as long as its still sugar free??
thanks
Cec,
The drink is meant to flush out excess water weight so basically...
"you may not have any excess water weight to lose"
If you've been eating right meaning eating a balance of protein and carbs, avoiding salt & sugar with regular exercise...
then you won't have too much water weight to lose so YES...
In your case i would probably stop the drink and go for another weight loss method because...
this drink really only works for people who been eating bad and not exercising but still want to lose "WATER" weight fast without any effort
I have been having the drink for 6 days, but there is still no change. Should i continue on until there is a drop in my weight?
lisa & trica,
please refer to this comment for your answer
So, is it 1 tea bag for all 60 oz,or per glass? The ingredients don't seem enough for 60 oz. So, it could be 5 glasses per day of 12 oz, but do we add 1 tea bag + cranberry juice per serving or to the entire 60 oz? Also, how long should we steep the tea in order for it to be effective?
It seems as though we are back and forth on the 60 oz of water issue. It does not make sense 60 oz of water and 1 teabag. Please(someone who knows for sure) please clarify. We need to know how, how much, and how often with this. Thanks
Gale240,
60 ounces everyday for a week
Very confusing and getting conflicting responses. Do you have to only 1 glass per day or all 60 ounces per day?

Jillian Michaels Cranberry Drink Recipe
Here it is again! The infamous Jillian Michaels Secret Drink Recipe to drop 5 pounds in 7 days. It is a diuretic drink designed to rid our bodies of excess water weight and bloating.
With the holidays coming, we know some of us could use a little help. I know I sure can!
Do this EVERYDAY!
Recipe:
60 Oz distilled water
1 TBS sugar free cranberry juice (not from concentrate)
1 dandelion tea bag
2 TBS lemon juice
mix and drink each day. (sipping through out the day
I read through the comments and could not find a clear answer. My question is do you drink the complete 60 oz per day or one glass per day?
Sarah M.,
NO, I'm not sure exactly but I think the sugar free cranberry juice itself has diuretic properties (or stuff that flushes out water weight) that other juices don't have
tricia,
Water weight only comes back or you'll only get bloated diet wise if you...
1. don't drink at least 1 liter of water daily
2. eat too much salt & sugar or these bad foods for weight loss and/or if...
3. you eat a very unbalanced diet that is very high carb
I was wondering, would this still work if I substituted a different juice for cranberry juice. If so, what juice? Thank you. My email is pastelbutterfly1@gmail.com
Hi, I am getting ready for my wedding in 11 days. I plan on drinking the diet drink for the week before. How quickly does the water weight come back after the 7 days? I'm nervous about the rehersal dinner. I want to look great at the wedding, but also enjoy our rehersal dinner that would include pasta and wine. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated! (Also, I was planning on following her 7 day diet in Making the Cut)
Anonymous,
Filtered water should be fine
must it be distilled water? can i just use filtered water instead?
Janelle,
This only helps flush out water weight and most people only have about 5-to-10 pounds of unneccesary water weight to flush out and you can flush out the MAX water weight in less than 7 days so NO...
it's no need to do this for more than 2 weeks and...
This diet will also help you lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks and just so you know...
If you're diet is balanced and if you've been avoiding salt/sugar - you won't have that much water weight anyway
Hi Can you do this recipe for more than 7 days like for 2 weeks?
I need to loose at least 10 lbs in 3 weeks
Ashley Barton,
YES - you can use green tea and green tea is a fat burner
can i use green tea instead?
cani eat to.?
Is there really such thing as "sugar free" cranberry juice ? I've seen "diet" and I've seen "lite", but I've not found any "sugar free"
Can you substitiute dandelion with green tea and cranberry juice with grapefruit ?
because it burns fat faster :]
I'm young and I wanna lose weight before high school so i don't get teased -_-
im like 4"11 i went from 130 to 120 now i wanna be 115
it would be really helpful for advice:]
I'm unable to find the dandelion root tea bag. Instead i have purchased dandelion root tea in a tin. i assume this works the same?
i'm unable to find distilled water anywhere! if i were to use ordinary water would this be a detriment to the overall effect?
I am on birth control. Will a flush drink like this or other cleanses make the pill go through my body too quickly to be effective, or is it okay?
Paras,
According to Lisa (see comment below) drink 1 8ounce glass for seven days
Hi,
Do you drink the mixture evryday for 7 days? Or do you only make it once and you drink it through out the week?
When I e-mailed Jillian customer service they said to drink 1 8ounce glass for seven days. I guess thats why you make the 60 ounces.
Kerri,
NO - i think what Jillian means is to make one 60 ounce serving and then just sip or drink thru-out the day
Kay,
YES- your "oragnic dandelion herbal teabags " should be okay
Do I add the tea bag, 1 tablesoopn of cranberry juice and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the 60 ounces and serve it like that or so i add those ingredience everytime I go to drink water? I mean, if I'm going to drink say a 16 ounce portion of wate, do I add all of that everytime I do? Or is that the amound for the 60 ounces?
Hi,
It's really hard for me to get dandelion root tea in Scotland. I can only find oragnic dandelion herbal teabags by Clipper. Would it be all right? Thanks
grace,
No - I think you have to use the dandelion root because it's a natural diruetic that flushes out water weight
can I use other tea beside dandelion root tea bag?
Paris,
I don't think so because the cranberry is one of the natural diruetics that helps you flush out water weight
Will this still work without the cranberry juice?
Debi,
Yes - you can eat food Just make sure you eat enough to lose,gain, or maintain your weight
When you drink that special drink with the sugarfree cranberry juice, dandelion teabag, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, can you eat food, and if so how much can you eat?
If you put a tea bag in cold water, it will steep, it just takes a little longer, like making sun tea. Doing it cold, I would leave it in the refrigerator overnight. You could also brew a cup of the tea hot, then cool it down to add it to the drink.
Does anybody what to take a stab at this? Does anybody have a definite answer as to whehter you put the tea bags in hot or cold water?
I still didn't see a definate answer about the dandelion root tea bag. Do you just dump it in cold water? From what I understand, bags of tea don't steep as well in cool water.
Linda,
Did you watch the video? and read the recipe under the video?
how do you prepare the weight loss drink . my email address is lingre2311@gmail.com
Jaimee,
Have you Gone here for danelion tea bags
I can't find Dandelion Root, but I found Dandelion Leaf. Is it the same thing?
Debbie,
Go here for danelion tea bags
Where can I find Dandelion root teabags? (Live in a very small community) Can I substitute it with something else?
chellek ,
There's no need to do this but th extra water is a good thing!
Do you need to drink the 60 ounces of this drink as well as your normal water intake(mine is about 67 ounces of plain ole water?
Robin2yu,
Just avoid eating TOO much salt period! some salt is fine - and it's okay to seep your teabag in water
you say you can eat food during this but only food without salt.
Should it be low cal food or any kind of food?
Also, do you put the teabag in the cold water?
Thanks!
Ryan,
You can eat regular food (just avoid too much salt).
All this is... Is a natural diruetic drink that flushes excess water weight from your body.
Hey, so... basically all you do is make this drink and drink it over the next 7 days? Do you eat food? How does it work?
Sherri,
I talked to a dieticain today and she said it doesn't matter because either way you do it - you don't lose any nutrients by boiling or droping the tea bag in water
Still not sure if you are suppose to boil the tea bag and add the 6oz of it to the water with the leamon and cranberry? or do you just drop in a tea bag to the water mixture?
emoral,
It probably can but... There's only so much water weight a person can lose and you'll probably end up losing most of your excess water weight before the 7 days is up and to prevent water weight again...
Drink at least 1 liter of water a day, eat a balanced diet of carbs, protein, and healthy fat while avoiding too much salt
Can this be done for more than 7 days?
The tea bag question hasn't really been answered yet. I am assuming one would have to boil 6 ounces of the water and let the tea bag steep for 3 minutes, and then add this to the rest of the water. The only other way I know of to get the tea into the fluid is to set it in the sun like when one makes sun tea. How else can one add one tea bag to this recipe??
Sammie,
The 60 ounces is supposed to be dranked thruout the day so yes... You can drink half & half during the day
60 onces is alot
my nalgene only holds 32 at a time
so should i do half the recipe
and than the other half withthe nex batch?
Rae & Mayse,
I don't think you boil the water and green tea is okay but danelion is a better for "water weight loss" and no sugar added is okay
Do you boil the water?
Is no sugar added okay?
Can i substiture green tea with dandielion root?
do you boil the water, and then put the teabag in? if not, how do you use the teabag?
D,
the Cranberry juice with 'no sugar added' should be fine
Hi,
I found everything at Whole Foods...however there was no 'sugar free' Cranberry juice -- just 'no sugar added' -- is this what Jillian is talking about? Thanks!
Anonymous,
That's what Jillian says is best but... you can go here for another way to lose 5 pounds of water weight in 2 days if you don't like danelion tea
Does it have to be dandelion root tea bags?
ccorona,
Go here for danelion tea bags and...
There's no need to take this longer than 7 days because all of your "WATer" WEIGHT should be flushed out within 7 days
Were can I buy the Dandelion tee at? And could I take this drink for more than 7 days?
Thank you
MANDEE,
You drink the 60 ounces of this diet drink during the day and you don't have to drink it all at once and YES...
It can be store bought lemon juice and make sure it's sugar free cranberry juice you're using
how do you get the tea bag into the water without boiling the water? do you just leave it in or do you take it out? and do you drink it all at one time or in parts of the day? and can this be the lemon juice you buy from the store? and the cranberry juice?
Vjirginia,
I wouldn't boil the tea bag but I don't think It'll hurt your weight loss efforts all that much and remember... You're only losing excess water weight by doing this so... If you plan on losing more than 5-to-10 plans - be ready to go a good weight loss program afterwards to lose weight fast
In the diet plan , do you or can you boil the danelion tea bag?
Stacey,
according to Jillian Michaels in the video - You need to try to drink at least 60 ounces of this drink once a day for 7 days
How many of these do you drink a day?
meka,
Please read the last part of this article to get your answer: http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-lo...s-in-2-
days.htm
Basically if you drink enough water and limit your salt intake - you won't get bloated or gain water weight
Where on the body is water weight mostly carried? Since it's only water weight that's being lost, will it come back? If so, how soon?
Can U eat food? Yes, but keep your salt intake low to avoid retaining any extra water
In your case yes - read this to see why:
http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-lo...s-in-2-
days.htm
When you don't drink water - you force your body to retain fluid for survival and yes...
People will notice you've lost weight even though it's water weight
i dont really drink water so would i even lose that much water weight? and would anybody be able to notice that i lost weight since it isnt fat?
Can you eat food?
